Diamond Hand-Painted Trinket Box with Calling Card, Italian

A small Florentine gilt box — worked in the tradition revived by postwar Florentine artisans carrying Renaissance and Baroque decorative techniques into the mid-twentieth century. Contains a Victorian chromolithograph calling card inside. These cards date to the 1880s or 1890s, when chromolithography made richly layered color printing suddenly affordable and the exchange of sentimental cards briefly became a social ritual for visitors and friends. The introduction of the telephone in 1900's made this tradition obsolete.

Box: 4.75"L × 3.25"W × 1.75"H

Regular price $40.00
